I want to receive November 30, 2015 as the string 20151130.

Reference SO

There are various methods, but it seems that it can be done by the following two methods.

test.py

import datetime
today = datetime.date.today()
print today

print today.strftime("%Y%m%d")
print "{:%Y%m%d}".format(today)

result

Success	time: 0.03 memory: 44680 signal:0
2015-11-30
20151130
20151130

.format () hesitates to use from the following two points.

1. Need:
2. Write .format (today) (opposite to today.format ())

.strftime () seems to be easier to remember.
